Used To Matter

See, these days it's different
It's all new
The old is gone and I am too
Wishing I was closer to back
When it used to matter
All my coins are gone
It's plastic now
My ipod's got me asking
'How could all my albums take me down
To back when it used to matter?'
Now it seems that we
Are all wrapped up so tight
Light just can't get in
And I feel that we can't see
Now it seems that we
Are all wrapped up so tight
Light just can't get in
And I feel, it's not 'maybe'
So, my watch is worthless, so is my pen
And it seems nothing is greater than
Something that takes me way back when
To back when it used to matter
All the words I write are on a screen
And the friends I have have 'added' me
And there's no record of anything
And now we all cease to matter
Now it seems that we
Are all wrapped up so tight
Light just can't get in
And I feel that we can't see
Now it seems that we
Are all wrapped up so tight
Light just can't get in
And I feel, it's not 'maybe'
So you die when you turn 22
But they gonna wait to bury you
Cuz you got a 9 to 5 to do
And that's supposed to matter
So you replace your time in between
With other peoples' hopes and dreams
And they live their lives on your tv
And now you don't even matter
Oh it seems, that we
Are all wrapped up so tight
Life just never gets in
And I feel that we can't see
It's not maybe
It's certainly
And I know we can't see
I just want us to be
Who were supposed to be
And who we are
Doesn't it seem like were kinda far
From the original plan from the start
Back when it used to matter
